Outdoor Education

Studying nature is woven into the curriculum—regular fieldwork, overnight camping trips, and our flourishing garden all connect students to the natural world.

Project-Based Learning

Hands-on learning, where students plan and solve problems together, provides the depth, complexity, and relevance that gifted children need to fully and joyfully learn.

Our Themes

At Helios, humanities and science are woven together into highly engaging themes that explore life’s big questions.

Collaboration

Learning how to collaborate with others is part of every class. It teaches our students to advocate for themselves and prepares them for the world beyond Helios.
